1. Project Description –New CAA Addition to the Nairobi, Kenya Embassy Compound.

SECRET FACILITY AND PERSONNEL SECURITY CLEARANCES ARE REQUIRED

Property Description: The existing Embassy site in Nairobi, Kenya is approximately 67,178m2 and located in the Gigiri District, north of Nairobi center. The principal office buildings supporting the Embassy of the United States in Nairobi, Kenya are the Chancery (NOB1), and the Office Annex (NOB2). OBO has recently finished construction of a New Office Annex/Maintenance Shops and Support Annex (NOX/SPX) to address mission collocation requirements. The 12,230 GSM CAA addition is planned to be in the vacant “corner” to the north of NOB1 and east of NOB2, connected to NOB1, but not connected to NOB2.

Project Scope: The project scope involves the addition of a new “standalone” CAA building to the compound. The CAA building will include one (1) below grade, and five (5) above grade office levels, as well as penthouse and 187 CAA/CAA+ desks (includes 16 desks for future growth)/ The CAA building will include a new Post 1, multi-purpose room and lobby at its ground level.

The MCAC will remain in place as-is, but the east perimeter wall will be adjusted to allow for required setback of the new building, and minor adjustments to surface parking are expected.

Final GSM is pending completion of a new SRP at this time.
